Progress bar control in System tray

Hi

I've a windows application that does a lengthy backup process. While the
process is going on, I need to show a progress bar inside system tray or
just above the system tray. Can someone please guide me how to show the
progress bar out of the boundaries of the application form area and near the
system tray.

Hi John

This article does gives me a solution to show animation in the system tray.
I can animate a small bar filling from empty to full, but what I was looking
for is a complete progress bar i.e Progress bar control. I know this cannot
be accomodated in System tray, thats why I was planning to show the progress
bar on top of the System tray. Is there any way I can create and show the
built in Progress bar control at that location, while my original
application form is minimized or even hidden. Hope I could clear my point.

Regards

I am using VB.NET 2005, but I have seen this problem in 2003 also. I have a windows form based application. When the user clicks on the main command button it goes off and does its thing. It updates a progress bar as data is processed and is also incrementing counters that are boing displayed in two textboxes. If I click on another window at this time and my application loses focus, the progress bar and textbox updating stops even though...

The program is still running in memory but the tray icon is not there. If I start the program after Windows has booted up the icon shows every time. I am assuming that the reason is due to the icon being created before the system tray is loaded/running. I have used a timer with...

For an application I'm creating I want to create a 'fake' progress bar. By fake I mean a progress bar that looks like it's doing something but actually isn't. I know philosophically this isn't sound. But my little app is a 'fake' app and is designed to look like another - hence this seeming crazy situation of needing to fake a progess bar. PROBLEM.
